The house
was always noising since Art came along. Spencer was out most nights working to
keep out of his sisters way because he knew Heather and Will wanted quality
time with Art. Mathew loved his cousin but hated it when he cried. This evening
was no exception and Heather was getting stressed because she didn't know how
to stop him crying. Mathew decided to stay out of the way so took Snowie
outside to watch the stars.

"It's
peaceful out here." Mathew stated.

"Heather
seems to be having a hard time?"

"Estevan
offered to help but Aunt Heather says she can cope."

"When
are you sitting your exams?" Snowie asked.

"Don't
know. Dad says they are important but I just can't bring myself to revise. Are
you going home for summer?"

"Your
exams are important and I don't know if I want to return home. I'm having too
much fun here with you."

Mathew
didn't reply. He'd only found out recently that his Dad was sending him
travelling but he couldn't bring himself to tell Snowie.

Sam was
trying to explain to Blake about her affair but no words would comfort Blake at
this point.

Blake
demanded, "You bitch how could you treat me like this?"

"Blake
I'm so sorry it's just..." Almost to the point of tears.

"It's
just what you are sorry. Don't you even try and apologize. You are fucking
someone else while we were planning to get a place together and still continued
to see them after we are living together. Tell me Sam how am I supposed to
forgive you?"

"It was
never meant to happen..."

"Which
bit Sam? The kiss, his hands over your body or you in his bed letting him touch
you? I can't even bring myself to forgive and you will have to leave the
flat."

"Blake,
I have nowhere to go. I...I want to stay here and be with you."

"It's
too late. It's either you leave voluntary or else."

"What
does that mean?"

"You
don't want to know. Besides I'm sure your bit on the side will take you
in!"

"Please
Blake I'm begging you gave me another chance. We can make this work!"

Blake said
with his temper simmering, "No we can't, you betrayed me, Sam. Now
go."

"No I
won't. I can't, I love you."

Blake
started to yell, "If you loved me then you would have respected me, us and
what we had but you chose to be with someone else..."

"We can
work through this, Blake."

"Never.
Now go."

"But..."

Blake's tone
becoming more harsh with each word, "I said leave." Sam tried to go
near him but he pushed her away. She could see he was ready to explode but she
wanted to make him understand. Sam wanted things the way they used to be before
the affair. 'Why did Estevan have to see her? Why was she having the affair?'

"I have
to get my things, Blake."

"Leave
a forwarding address and I'll send them." She ignored him and went into
the bedroom to gather her things. Blake couldn't believe what was happening. He
loved her so much but this pain was just too intense. The thought of her going
to this other man was more than he could bare.

Before he
knew what was happening his temper was getting the better of him and it didn't
help that it was time to feed either. He now wanted blood and to kill. He
didn't believe in an eye for an eye but the heartache he felt was getting worse.
He got to the bedroom door trying to hold back, his breathing got slower but
his heart was racing. His hand was holding the handle; Blake turned the handle
and started to open the door. The anger had now full control over him.

Blake was
trying to fight the pain and the anger, he tried to reach his Dad or Will by
thoughts but there was no response. They were either ignoring his pleas for
help or the lack of practise using his thoughts was too weak to get help.

He slowly opened the door listening to Sam
crying as she was packing her clothes. Sam didn't even hear him come in or see
him. He closed the door behind him. For a moment he watched her, wishing things
could be back to normal but it was too late. He was here; ready to do what came
natural to him hunting his prey. He remembers hearing her scream in terror as
Sam had never seen this side of him but within a few moments the house was
again quiet and still and Sam was no more.

It seemed
over night Heather finally looked and felt more pregnant. Will was just as
excited as Heather to be expecting. At the last appointment the doctor did ask
if they wanted to know the sex of the baby but they declined to know as they
wanted it to be a surprise.

Heather
needed to have some time to herself so booked an appointment at the local spa for
a massage. The only thing she hated about being pregnant was a sore back.
William decided to keep the meeting about Blake and Sam a secret as he wanted Heather
to get through the pregnancy with no stress. He didn't want to but felt he had
no choice.

Estevan
couldn't stay at his home without wanting to explode and he couldn't stay at
William's without Heather asking questions. The business trip was now on hold
until the issue with Blake and Sam was sorted. He went to see Dawn. She wasn't
expecting to see him when she opened the door. Suddenly Dawn threw herself into
his arms wrapping her legs around his waist.

He walked with ease into the
apartment with Dawn still holding on tight closing the door behind him. It took
all his will power to stop himself from taking things further but he needed to
talk to her. When she finally let go she asked, "I thought you were go
away?"

"I was
but an emergency came up. I need to ask you something. Would you mind me
staying here for awhile?"

Dawn couldn't believe it he finally wants to stay and almost said in a girlish manner,
"I don't mind." Estevan seeing her excitement and what she thought
was going to happen answered, "I know you have only one room but I can
sleep on the sofa."

Dawn was
shocked, here was her chance and he was denying her. He took her to the sofa
and said softly, "I am crazy about you but until we know how we feel I'd
rather not share the same bed. When it happens, you'll never get rid of me and
waking up with you is where I'll want to stay."

"I do
like you a lot. I found out Sam is cheating on Blake and I'm so angry I just
can't stay there."

"Does
Blake know?"

"He
does know about the affair. Why did she cheat on him?" Estevan demanded.

"It's
just what people do sometimes."

Raising his
voice he stated, "She gave herself to another man while still with my son,
it's not right."

"I know
your upset but what can you do?"

Before he
could answer his phone rang it was Will he was in a state, "Will calm down
what's wrong?" While he listened he calmly said, "I'll be there
now."

"What's
wrong?"

"It's
Heather she went into premature labour the baby is on its way. Will is
panicking and wants me there."

"I'll
come with you."

"Dawn,
you don't have too and sorry about before I'm just angry with..."

"I know
why you are angry, Blake is your son and you want to protect him. We can talk
more later but we need to get going or you will miss your grandchild being
born."

When they
got to the hospital, they were informed that Heather had left with a
healthy baby but she refused to stay overnight for observation and they let her
and the baby go. Estevan arrived at the house and made his way to the living
room where he found Will and Heather with his first grandchild.

"What
did you have?"

"Dad we
had a boy. Would you like to hold him?"

Estevan just
smiled as Will gave his son to his father. "What's his name?"

"We
named him Art." Heather voiced.

While Dawn
congratulated Will and Heather, Estevan spoke to Art. "You are so
handsome. I bet you are going to break hearts when you are older. You look just
like your Daddy when he was this age. We are going to have so much fun."

Then he
asked Dawn if she would like to hold Art, "I don't know. Babies don't like
me."

Heather
said, "Its ok." Dawn reluctantly took Art in her arms, as she held
him, Art gurgled and made Dawn snuggle him. Then William said, "You look
good with a baby." Dawn went bright red and handed Art to his Dad.

"Here
he is but I'm not the mother type. I wouldn't know what to do." Estevan
was busy talking to Heather ignoring the conversation as he could see Dawn was
uncomfortable by the talk.

Estevan was
leaving for his trip when he saw something that shocked him. He read their mind
and the moment he did, he regretted his actions. He cancelled his trip and
called an emergency meeting with Blair and William.

When they
arrived, Blair and William saw Estevan pacing the floor.

"You
should be on a plane right now. What's the big emergency?" Blair
questioned him.

"Sit
down both of you."

"Dad,
what is going on?" Will asked.

"First
block your mind from Blake, Will."

In shock
Will shouted, "WHAT?"

"Do as
I've asked NOW!" yelling at his son.

Blair
stepped in, "What's the big deal? I mean I don't get on with Blake but to
tell Will to shut off communication with his brother, are you serious?"

"Very.
I checked and Blake has no clue. I taught him to read minds yet he chose very
rarely to use it, except to argue with me..."

"Dad,
what is going on?"

"Samantha
is having an affair. I caught her coming back and when she saw me she looked
guilty and ran off. I read her thoughts and she's been seeing this guy for 2
months. And before you ask Will, yes they are having sex." Estevan temper
was getting worse and he added, "She's cheating on my son!"

Blair sat
there and replied, "Shit."

"Am I
missing something here?" Will asked.

"In
cases like adultery, William it's normally the penalty of death. In our line of
work loyalty is high on the list but the problem is Samantha is female so
that's why your Dad called this meeting."

Will was
shocked, "Dad you can't be serious? Blake would be devastated."

"You
are telling me that you don't know by now the kind of business we run or what I
expect from family and my associates."

"I
thought the killings had stopped."

Ignoring
Will's question, "What do we do? I mean this behaviour can't continue.
Blake's been betrayed."

"You
could let him deal with her. I mean after this he may join the family
business." Blair added.

Finally Estevan
sat down but still concerned he said softly but with anger still in his voice,
"He's my son, he's put his heart and soul into her and she repays him with
sleeping with another man. What did he do to deserve this?"

Kneeling at
his Dad's side, "Dad, tell Blake first. He does have a right to
know."

"You
have a few options, first as I said before let Blake deal with this or just
kill her or have her killed.

"Blair
stop this now. Dad, please tell Blake first, I'm begging you. If you kill her
you may regret the decision."

"Tell
him to come here now before I change my mind."

William
called his brother asking him to come to the arcade straight away. While they
waited for Blake they made some small talk but spent most of their time
waiting.

When Blake
arrived Will asked him to sit. "What's up?"

Estevan
couldn't look at him so Will spoke, "There is no easy way to tell you but
Sam is having an affair."

Blake tried
to defend her, "Really and what proof do you have?"

"Me,
Blake. I saw her come home with guilt written all over her face and reading her
mind confirmed her guilt."

Teddy barely
left the bedroom these days just mostly sat by the fire reading. It wasn't that
she didn't want to go out but with all the ups and downs she felt it better to
stay put. Blair occasionally got her out into the living room and tried to put
a smile on her face by either talking to her stomach or listen while their
daughter did her normal summer salts.

Blair had a
surprise for Teddy, he had arranged pictures to be taken to capture Teddy
expecting. She didn't want the pictures done but after some persuasion from
Blair; Teddy agreed.

Blake was
happy to be going to work as his Dad was way too happy. He had caught his Dad
cooking and couldn't remember that last time his Dad had cooked a meal and was
given strict instructions that he and Sam were not allowed in the main part of
the house while Dawn was here.

Everyone had
gone out for the evening leaving the teenagers in the house. Matt and Snowie
took this opportunity to spend time together. They were told any problems to
either ring or go and see Estevan. They weren't going to do anything wrong just
spend time together. Matt and Snowie sat outside by a warm fire roasting
marshmallows.

"They
are going to burn if you hold them in too long." Snowie pointed out. Matt
thinking he was being funny decided to show off to Snowie and started warming
up his butt. Snowie trying to hold in the laughter just warmed her hands
ignoring him.

"Well I
thought it was funny." Matt replied when he didn't get the reaction he was
hoping for.

Estevan had
just brought Dawn to the house, "I thought we were going out? I think I
maybe overdressed."

Sensing what
Dawn was trying to say, "You mean the picture of Holly? I switched the
picture off. If that was what you were worried about."

Dawn felt
uncomfortable about his dead wife watching them on their first date but felt
happy knowing the picture was switched off. She felt that now she could relax,
"When are you going to be a granddad?"

"I
think Heather's due in a few months. Are you ok dating me knowing that I will
be a granddad soon?"

"It
will be strange but I'm fine with it. Last night when you asked me to dinner,
you mentioned relationships, what did you mean?"

Estevan was in shock at
first and then replied, "You know what a relationship is, Dawn."

"Not
really, my longest relationship as you call it was a month at college. My
career always came first."

"I am
shocked." Estevan remarked. They finished up their meal in silence. In the living room
Estevan made some drinks while Dawn sat watching him play barman.

It was the
first time she had been with anyone who wasn't trying to get her into bed.
Since she could remember the men she met smiled, bought her a drink and if
she felt like it they would end up at his place having sex.

In the morning she
either regretted the night or he would make an excuse and Dawn would never see
the guy again.

It did worry
her that he seemed content to talk and show off but it puzzled her as to why he
wouldn't even kiss her. They spent the evening talking and laughing.

Dawn
enjoyed the time they were together and as she was about to ask about the kiss,
Estevan announced he was taking her home as it was late.

Dawn sat
stunned in the car wondering why he wanted to take her home. Estevan walked
her to her door, "Would you like to come in?"

"I have
a meeting in the morning so I have to go. Would you like to go out again?"

Dawn wanted
to say yes but hesitated in her answer, Estevan knew why she wouldn't answer.
He took her in his arms and kissed her. Locked together in a kiss, Dawn's mind
raced with different thoughts, 'Don't stop kissing me, stay tonight and I have
to see you again.'

As their
lips parted Dawn asked, "Is tomorrow night ok?"

"I
can't, I am away for a few days on business but will Friday be ok?"

"Friday
is too long."

"I will
call you while I'm away."

When she
agreed to see him on Friday, Estevan kissed her again and left.
